The popular Nigerian Comedian, Ayo Makun popularly known as AY has separated from his wife Mabel Makun following allegations of infidelity in their marriage.
The comedian confirmed the divorce rumour making rounds on social media with a post on Sunday evening after Netizens have raised suspicions about the marriage earlier through comments on the comedian’s page during her wife’s birthday and the conspicuous absence of his wife, Mabel in a family event held in Lagos over the weekend.
In a recent social media post, comedian AY addressed the misconception that staying silent on personal issues equates to weakness, emphasizing the importance of protecting his family’s privacy amidst public scrutiny. AY candidly expressed his stance on not airing deep personal family issues in public, especially considering the potential impact on his grown-up daughter’s mental health.
“Many people believe that staying silent simply
means that one is incapable of dealing with issues.
Projecting a negative narrative against someone who is not struggling to defend himself doesn’t mean he is weak.
Some of us are just logical enough to understand the difference between opinions, values, beliefs, and facts.
The personality and ability that I possess simply confirm that i have reached that stage in my life where I can not be entertaining the public with deep personal family issues.
They just might be too much to handle concerning the individuals involved. Not even when I have a grown-up daughter who has access to social media. Her mental health needs to be protected from seeing things she cannot be proud of online.
Yes! Without compromising my family, i have found myself doing some things that i am not proud of today. It is one thing to watch my friendship/ marriage of 20 years slip off my hands, but it’s another thing for the parties involved to understand how to appropriate the blames in a space that is designed for most women to always play the victims and win. I can tell you for free that no one is completely INNOCENT enough to cast stones.
Presently, i am loving the way that lies about me in all these blogs are traveling faster than the truth. But my painful truth will eventually beat away all the lies.”
